Does God Exist...Prove it! By The Acadiana AthiestWhat you believe as a Christian is that there is a non physical devine being that live in a inaccessible realm of existence that is seperate from our universe. Any attempt to argue that a divine being lives in an inaccessible realm of reality is an attempt to argue for the impossible or the unknowable. Logic alone can refute impossible beings, but it can't show that possible beings exist without evidence. If you can't at some point provide measurable verifiable evidence for the specific being that you claim to exist, all the arguments in the world won't establish your claim as fact. This is one reason that when someone claims that they have a logical argument that requires the creator of one personel creator of our universe, the argument is fallacious because you have failed to understand what is required to establish such an existence claim. It's just a question in verifying where the errors are. However seemingly plausible they may sound to the unwary, or the already persuaded, all popular agruments for the existence of specific gods are based on false premises and or conclusions and unjustified predispositions. Many people with thiestic beliefs don't get tangled up in persuing doomed arguments. They know they can't prove god with logic and have no need to do so. They realize that their beliefs a personal and that others are entitled to different views. A belief in one or more gods might sustain you in your own life. But when you pressure others to adopt your beliefs and participate in practices associated in those beliefs. You give up the luxury in not having to explain yourself. You give yourself the burden of proof, and certain reasons that might seem sound when justifying a belief to yourself are simply not valid when you are trying to prove existence claims to other people however passionately you express them. You can't pester and bully people and then retreat behind faith when challeged about your beliefs.
